</pre>

  <p>The function remove() removes all elements that are equal to val
  from the list.</p>

  <p>For example, the following code creates a list of the first 10
  characters of the alphabet, then uses remove() to remove the letter
  &#39;E&#39; from the list:</p>
  <pre class="example-code">
   // Create a list that has the first 10 letters of the alphabet
   list&lt;char&gt; charList;
   for( int i=0; i &lt; 10; i++ )
     charList.push_front( i + 65 );
   // Remove all instances of &#39;E&#39;
   charList.remove( &#39;E&#39; );              
</pre>
